A: Medium gold N: Medium intensity. Medicinal, fennel, apple, lemon drops, pineapple. youthful P:Aroma confirmed. Pretty neutral wine this. Dry, full body, high alcohol (14.2% ) medium (+) acid, medium intensity and medium (-) finish.
C: Guessed this one correct. Drink now, no aging potential. BLICt? Its pretty typical for an inexpensive unoaked california chardonnay. Half a tick for intensity and so Good Quality. $16

Medium golden yellow in color. Doesn’t offer much on the nose except hints of apple cider. Rich and creamy on the palate with flavors of overripe pineapple and tropical fruit leading to a somewhat short finish. Full bodied, low acidity, and 14.2% alcohol. Fermented in stainless steel with no use of oak but apparently full malolactic fermentation. $18.

This basic standby from one of my fave local wineries has a nose of the usual Chard tropical fruits, plus a little bit of something dusty like hay, or straw - another reviewer said gingerbread, I could make this a ginger tone. It's star-bright, bright golden, has a medium body. A touch of acidity on the front palate is accompanied by slight petillance. The palate expands to creamy butter/lactate - every year there is more malolactic - and then contracts to a surprisingly long finish that has some of the bitter quality of lime peel. The wine pairs excellently with any of the usual white wine foods - pate, fish, shellfish, chicken - and I usually have a bottle or two around, though the QPR has also decayed over the years and there are actually better offerings from France below the pricepoint at my local grocer.

A malolactic mess, with no decernible fruit.
Not a rebuy...ever
